Godly Base

351 – Siege

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Beams of light fell from above the outwall of Liuguang City and bombarded the slave soldiers on the ground.

The slave soldiers returned fire from the demon guns in their hands, and beams of light barreled toward Liuguang City’s outwall.

The elite human soldiers on Liuguang City’s outwall have cultivated spirit shield arts, which can weaken the power of long-range attacks. Moreover, they wear spirit force armor that can further weaken the power of bullets. Coupled with the protection of the outwall, their casualties were low.

“The slave soldiers driven by the Hollow Demons are really miserable. Once they are hit, they will lose their combat power. They will be left on the battlefield while crying in pain.”

“What’s the point of this attack?”

Shu Feng looked at the slave soldiers that were being killed left and right and asked curiously.

On this large-scale battlefield, there are people dying every moment. Their souls are absorbed by Shu Feng, becoming resources in his base. He feels greatly satisfied with this.

However, if only cannon fodder is used to attack the city, then even if the attack lasts for 10 years, they won’t be able to capture a level-1 city like Liuguang City.

Fang Long said, “It can consume the spirit force and physical strength of our soldiers. In addition, there are many Hollow Demon clan sharpshooters hiding among the slave soldiers. These sharpshooters are very annoying!”

At this moment, beams of light shot out from among the slave soldiers, slammed into the heads of human soldiers on the outwall, and blew their heads away.

Beams of light blasted apart the heads of human soldiers from gunholes.

After a successful attack, the sharpshooters mixed among the slave soldiers quickly changed locations.

The marksmen on Liuguang City’s outwall also opened fire and sniped the sharpshooters hidden among the cannon fodder.

Shu Feng frowned and said, “It seems that these aren’t Souleater sharpshooters, but slave sharpshooters. How come they serve the Hollow Demon clan?”

“Much like some traitors of Blue Star’s human clan have defected to the Hollow Demon clan, there are numerous traitors in demi-human clans and beastman clans. According to the information we obtained from torturing prisoners, many demi-humans and beastmen who defected to the Hollow Demon clan have been nurtured by the Hollow Demons. Their status is higher than that of ordinary demi-human and beastman slaves.

“In addition, the demi-human and beastman sharpshooters can receive a huge reward and merit every time they kill a human soldier. If they accumulate enough merit, they can redeem a transformation ceremony and turn into Demonmen or even Hollow Demon nobles. That’s the reason why the sharpshooters work so hard.” Fang Long sighed slightly.

The strength of the Hollow Demon clan is far higher than that of Blue Star’s human clan. The scariest thing is that they employ various strategies, including slave soldiers, to further tilt the scales in their favor.

If it weren’t for the fact that there are great conflicts within the Hollow Demon clan and the fact that Blue Star is protected by the Worldheart, Blue Star’s human clan would long have been defeated and enslaved by the Hollow Demon clan.

Unable to bear the cruel death toll, many of the slave soldiers broke rank and retreated toward the headquarters of the Hollow Demons. Those slave soldiers just retreated when they were forced to continue to attack Liuguang City by the Hollow Demon supervision team.

The brutal massacre continued as one slave battalion after another was wiped out by the soldiers on Liuguang City’s outwall.

The soldiers on Liuguang City’s outwall, who took turns attacking, consumed their physical strength and spirit force at an alarming pace. Every time they fired a shot, the soldiers had to consume a fraction of their spirit force. The slave soldiers didn’t sit with their hands folded, but fought back. This pressure further sapped the energy of the soldiers on Liuguang City’s outwall.

The Hollow Demons continuously drove groups of newly recruited slaves toward Liuguang City. Many of the slaves were residents of the Qianyuan Republic not long ago.

“Help me!”

“Don’t kill me!”

“…”

Pitiful cries and pleading resounded on the battlefield. Even so, the soldiers on Liuguang City’s outwall pulled the trigger of their spirit guns indifferently and fired at the slave soldiers.

In less than a day, corpses filled the moat of Liuguang City and piled up into a mountain outside the city.

Hospitals in Liuguang City overflowed with injured soldiers.

Among the slave soldiers, there were many marksmen hidden. They killed and wounded many soldiers of Liuguang City.

“What a cruel battle! If it weren’t for the Marsh Overlord, then even though I have built level-1 Spirit Force Towers, the Marsh Dragon Territory would also have to face such a cruel battle.”

Shu Feng stood above Liuguang City and looked at the mountain of slave corpses outside the city, and his heart sank slightly. He gained a deeper understanding regarding the cruelty of the battle.

“Young master! Those Souleaters are crazy! They have used so many slave soldiers to consume our spirit force and physical strength. I’m afraid they are going to launch an all-out attack against us! I suggest that we ask the military for help.”

Liu Liang looked at the slave soldiers who continued to pour in from various places and gave a suggestion to Fang Long, a look of worry in his eyes.

Liuguang City only suffered 1,000 casualties. On the other hand, 100,000-plus slave soldiers were killed. However, if things continue like this, Liuguang City won’t be able to bear it. After all, Liuguang City only has 30,000 elite soldiers of the Fang Magnus Family.

There are 50,000 Souleater soldiers preserving their strength outside Liugang City, spurning the slave soldiers to attack the city and consume the strength, spirit force, and morale of Liuguang City’s soldiers. When the strength of Liuguang City’s soldiers is exhausted, the 50,000 Souleater elite soldiers will launch an attack. They might be able to break through the outwall in one go.

A dignified color streaked across Fang Long’s eyes, and he said, “I’m going to request the military to send help!”

The Fang Magnus Family has its people in the military, who can influence the military’s decision in a crisis like this. They can have the military send support. After all, once Liuguang City is taken down, the territory of the Fang Magnus Family will be exposed to the tyranny of the Hollow Demon clan, and the Qianyuan Republic will lose an important barrier.

Night fell and darkness enveloped the earth.

The Souleater clan is still spurning slave soldiers to attack Liuguang City, with gunfire sounding incessantly.

“Night has finally come!”

In a forest about 20 kilometers away from the camp of the Souleater clan, Shu Feng hid with the help of the Lord of the Night’s Ring. He waved his hand and summoned 2,000 Dragonhounds, who exude a formidable aura.
